Just noticed that the weather for the weekend has taken a turn for the worse on Saturday, forecast is now for rain during much of the daylight hours!

Sunday is more windy and stronger gusts, low temps and with chance of rain! So, field could be tricky to get off by then. (By midnight Sunday wind is rising ahead of significant rubbish coming from Atlantic at some speed!!)

However, any of that could change and I propose to make a final decision about cancelling tomorrow between 6 & 7 tonight, which should give us the best chance of a sensible decision.

I will follow that with a decision about Sunday, by early afternoon Saturday.

Sorry if this messes you about but it gives the best chance of flying.

Now cancelled Sunday for weather - cold and windy, possible rain; also for operational reasons.WE would be down to minimum numbers meaning any retirement would lead to constant slot-swapping to maintain minimum slot size. Not a sensible set of conditions to start a comp

Phil has sent a picture of the Wetlands pond, of field as some know it, not the best for driving through!

Hope you have not been too inconvenienced and hope to see you in a fortnight for eSoaring.
